Does dumping syndrome always result in diarrhea or having to run to the restroom. Because I got the symptoms and I have a couple of times but never have to run to the bathroom because of diarrhea and my bowl movements are normal. I guess when my mom gets dumping syndrome she always has to run to the restroom so I assumed it did but I haven’t had to.

Yeah on mine, James M. it said " vomiting of a prolonged period" well I called my Bariatric Clinic in such a case, was told by one of their Nurse Practioners I was delusional, I knew dang well there was NOTHING WRONG with me and to stop bothering them. Oh I have not called them again, I will be 10 months on Friday next and I don't believe I should still have frequent episodes of emesis My local community hospital, knicknamed "the BandAid station" is even worse, sad to say. They are not sure WTF to do with me, maybe they hope for Constipation, fever, headaches and other "easy peasy "things, something within their competences. But a bypass patient, like a purple- spotted giraffe, interesting to look at, but what DO YOU. REALLY DO WITH one?👈👩👉

There are two types of dumping, early and late. I had plenty of experience with early dumping. Anytime I ate a little bit too much, it would lead to early dumping. Because of this I learned to detect the signals my body gave me to tell me that I was at the edge, such as hiccups, sneezes etc. and then I would just abruptly stop eating not one more bite. But I never experienced high blood pressure or fainting symptoms.
There is another type of dumping syndrome called late dumping or reactive hypoglycemia. The following link explains the two types. I met someone with this late dumping condition at a bariatric surgery support group meeting. He was not diabetic prior to surgery but after surgery, he experienced severe reactive hypoglycemia. He even fainted a couple times before he figured out this was a problem. Once he knew the problem, he knew what he had to do whenever he felt dizzy afterwards and found he could easily manage and live with that condition.
Dumping Syndrome After Gastric Bypass Surgery
But when I looked at your meal, I did not see anything to trigger this reaction. If you had a blood sugar monitor, it might be interesting to know what your blood sugar levels were during your dizzy episodes.

You may want to run this by your surgeon's office. Generally when we leave the hospital we are given discharge directions. One of the items on the sheets is called "When to Call Your Physician".
On mine item number 6 reads:
"Chest pain, rapid heartbeat and/or dizziness."

Since your physician discussed leak, I did an internet search and found the following:
Anastomotic Leak After Gastric Bypass Surgery
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each person. They can include:
* Fast heart rate
* Fever
* Chills
* Stomach pain
* Chest pain
* Shortness of breath (rapid breathing or difficulty breathing)
* Fluid leaking from an incision site
* Nausea and vomiting
* Pain in the left shoulder area
* Low blood pressure
* Less urine
* General feeling of discomfort (malaise)
The symptoms of anastomotic leaking after gastric bypass surgery may look like other health conditions. See your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.

sounds like dumping to me

You may be dehydrated.

So today I went shopping and walked around the whole store without an issue the highest my heart rate was 128 but I hadn’t eaten anything got home ate six thin pretzels with turkey and American cheese. Here it’s super hot so I decided to eat a sugar free popsicle after awhile. And all of a sudden I got super light headed and dizzy. My heart rate went to 144bpm so I went and turned the fan on because I got really warm all of a sudden (it was already 70 degrees inside my house which is perfect for me) just standing and walking five feet to the fan my heart rate went to 160bpm. But my blood pressure went to 153/90 but then dropped to 80/45 when I laid in front of the fan and relaxed which is low for my mine ranges from 110/60-120/80. It’s been almost three hours and my heart rates finally under 100bpm. When I get up it goes back to 120s tho. So I was thinking maybe I ate the popsicle to close to eating and had the symptoms of dumping syndrome(which I have before just never had to use the bathroom just get the other symptoms) but I’m not sure because when my dr described the symptoms of a leak to me it had similar symptoms. And didn’t know if anyone else had anything like this happen.. or had an opinion on either it’s just eating the popsicle or if it sounds like a leak..

Congrats on your surgery tomorrow🍾🎈🎊🎉

That’s good! Makes me feel better knowing other have successful pregnancies after this surgery.

The girl I know, just had her gender reveal yesterday and she posts updates periodically. She posted that he is healthy!

I know someone who got pregnant 7 weeks after surgery. She’s having a boy!

Could have been a bad indent or the dye had not settled enough at the time you looked at it.

I would take one with first morning urine and keep testing until you get your period. If you don’t get your period after a week or so, then test again.

I would still check in with the Gynae, better make certain that you were an alarmist than have something or some reason for it.😓😷😁

I forgot to post this but when I woke up the line was gone so I assumed it was a false positive but am going to retest tomorrow thank you all I really do appreciate it I just still worry because auntie flow still hasn’t showed and since the first period after surgery she’s been pretty accurate. ❤️❤️ but before surgery it wasn’t abnormal for me to go months without her so maybe my hormones are still trying to regulate.

I'd also suggest taking another test in a few days. It looks negative to me too.

My story doesn't have to do with being pregnant after WLS it has to do with blessings in disguise. My son was six months old when my wife told me she was pregnant again. Wow, we were dirt poor and having another mouth to feed felt like a monumental task. My wife said we were going to have another baby. How could we mange? We already had a six month old and barely getting by. How could we make it with another baby?Well, our second child turned out to be a little girl and I have been in love with her for 40 years. I have been blessed with my two children and I thank my now ex wife for making that monumental decision all those many years ago. You'll know what's best for you and whatever decision you make I'm sure you'll be ok with it. Sometimes we get blessings in disguise. I know I did.

Looks kinda negative to me and I take a lot of test...
But
DOLLAR TREE ...
they have quality tests (exact copies of the ones used in my doctor's office) best part you can but a ton to really make sure.
💜Good luck and hope you get the outcome you desire💜

Let us know if it does turn out We are All going to be God- Aunts and Uncles, okay?
